Iris aggressively pushed her point. [Your husband is a monster. I've never seen a man treat his wife like this! If you back down now because you feel sorry for the baby, the Lockwoods are going to walk all over you while putting Winifred on a pedestal. And Wyatt won't just ignore you—he'll lose all respect for you.]
[It's true. People always push boundaries, especially when they know you're an easy target.]
[Let me tell you, in a relationship, you have to hold the power if you want to be cherished. You need to confidently demand a divorce and go live your best life. Show Wyatt exactly what he's missing. Once he's drowning in regret, you'll finally be in control.]
A few days later.
When Leland walked through the Lockwood Mansion doors with Winifred and the twins, Wyatt was the first to stand up and apologize.
"Fabiola is still nursing, and her emotions are all over the place. She had a moment of foolishness and falsely accused Seth. The blame for this falls heavily on me. I failed as a husband to keep her in check. I want to sincerely apologize to both of you on her behalf."
Wyatt tugged gently at Fabiola's sleeve. "Stand up. Say a few words to Seth and Winifred."
Fabiola's eyes bulged with rage.
Wyatt looked embarrassed and lowered his voice. "Fabiola?"
"Let's get a divorce. I'm done talking," she spat, her face twisted with resentment.
A stunned silence fell over the room.
Wyatt kept his voice low. "You made a mistake. Now it's time to make amends with the family. Stop throwing a tantrum."
Fabiola violently shoved her chair back and stood up. "Even now, you still think I'm just throwing a tantrum? You think I don't mean it? Let me make this perfectly clear—I'm not throwing a tantrum! I am dead serious. I want a divorce!"
Sylvia and Shannon immediately stood up, supporting each other as they hurried over.
Before they could reach her, Fabiola turned and bolted for the door.
Wyatt chased after her, grabbing her arm. "Calm down! We can talk about this. Just trust me, we'll sort it out."
They had only been married for two years. They were college sweethearts from Kingsbridge University, having gone from graduation gowns right into wedding attire. They had a solid foundation.
